Your Favourite Jazz Bass Tone/Player?

I love the jazz growl, bridge pickup all the way open, tone all the way open. I can’t think of what player led me to this, but I love it.

Also, John Deacons tone on ‘some day one day' from the first Queen album.

I might like fretless tones…

Geddy Lee's tone made me buy my first Jazz bass so...

 

[ProbablyTooLoud]

4:10 mark after piano solo.
Yeah baby.

 

[Slade N]

also, for a different Jazz flavor Family Man

 

[Killing Floor]

Freddie Washington or Larry Graham or Adam Clayton maybe.
Honestly most bass players in the same genres have kinda the same tone to me. No offense lol
That’s why I get so ruffled when someone says P Vs J, none (NONE) of you can tell in a band mix without looking. Someone is about 5 posts away from quoting me that all 3 of the dudes I named don’t always play J. Because you looked at pictures and made a tone judgement based on that.

This rant will self destruct in 3…2…1…

Stanley Banks (George Benson)

Alex Malheiros(bass) is better known in Brazil. Most jazz guys know him from Azymuth band. I like listening to him.







I like Sabrina, his daughters stuff alot. He plays on her LP's too.

So many to choose from. Flabba Holt comes to mind for reggae. Not a Fender, but Will Lee on his Sadowsky Jazzes sounds perfect to me.
